Postpartum ovarian vein thrombosis

vasculitis was cryoglobulinemia (n= 5). Three patients presentedwith single-organ vasculitis, two patients had ANCA-negative microscopic polyangiitis, and one patient had giant-cell arteritis. The main clinical features involved the skin, e.g., purpura (91%), arthralgia (37%), peripheral neuritis (27%), and renal glomerulonephritis (18%). The most frequent histologic finding was leucocytoclastic vasculitis (54%). The rate of complete remissionwas high: i.e., 80%. Aminority of patients had a vasculitis relapse (27%). Three patients (27%) died: one related to LGL leukemia (acute infection) and two other deaths were related to vasculitis (both with heart failure). Conclusion: We conclude that vasculitis is overrepresented in the population of LGL patients, that LAV predominantly affects women, that vasculitis preferentially affects the small vessels, and that LAV has high rate of complete response.
